24.40.129.224: /* Becoming Trait Negative */

{{update}}
{{One other use|the ribozyme trait|the KateModern video|Trait Positive}}

Throughout the [[lonelygirl15]] and [[KateModern]] web series, many girls have been identified as either '''trait positive''' ([[Bree]], [[Emma]], & [[Kate]]) or '''trait negative''' ([[Jules]]).

==What is Trait Positive?==
[[image:0201-DNApage.png|thumb|150px|"Ribozymes"]]
From what [[Daniel]], [[Jonas]], and [[Sarah]] [[Opening the Box|discovered in the box]] [[CAMP PLAY|left by Bree's father]], it is apparent that Bree is trait positive due to an inordinate amount of {{wikipedia|ribozyme|ribozymes}}. [[Opening the Box|According to Daniel]], ''"ribozymes are like molecular scissors that cut DNA . . . scientists seeking the origin of life have produced ribozymes that are actually capable of catalyzing their own synthesis. Translation: They somehow make life.''"
{{Clr}}

==Relevance to the Order==
===Benefits===
[[Image:0254-BreeLyingDownEyesClosed.jpg|thumb|left|140px|Extra life... at a cost.]]
[[The Order]] invests an extraordinary amount of time cultivating the blood of trait positive girls. It appears that this is because the [[Elder]]s of the [[Hymn of One]] believe that trait positive girls' blood has a special "life giving" quality, and that by transfusing those girls' blood into themselves, they can [[Enter The Order|gain extra life]]. According to a [[Watcher]], "''these Elders' lives are dependent upon these girls.''" ([[My Fatal Mistake]] (October 2nd, 2007)).
{{Clr}}

===Disadvantages===
[[Image:0287-TheyDied.JPG|thumb|left|140px|Superpowers?]]
There have also been suggestions by the [[rogue Elder]], [[Claire]], and [[Dr. William Griffin]] that trait positive girls [[Help Us!|have special powers]]. [[Join Me!|According to Claire]], if a trait positive girl learns to harness these powers, she will possess the ability to take down [[the Order]] once and for all. [[Dr. William Griffin]]'s claim was less specific, but he too suggested that "''trait positive girls possess powerful abilities.''" He said that his experiments "''with the trait positive girls showed that they had something more than the longevity that we believe provides the power for the Order.''" He did not have a chance to elaborate beyond this point.

However, the legitimacy of all of these claims were called into doubt in [[My Fatal Mistake]], when a [[Watcher]] told a heartbroken [[Jonas]] that any sort of "powers" that trait positive girls had were a sham. Even so, no other explanation has been given for what could happen instead.
{{Clr}}

==The Lives of Trait Positive Girls==
[[Image:0295-CarlAndSoniaDeliveringBaby.jpg|thumb|A trait positive baby being delivered to her adoptive parents.]]
[[Bree's parents#Father|Bree's dad]] told Bree that "''the Order takes these girls who show potential, at birth, and place them in controlled homes. Apparently, there are thousands of them, but once they hit puberty only a fraction of a percentile develop the characteristics needed for the ceremony''" ([[Hiding In The Bathroom]] (January 13th, 2007)). These "characteristics" were later identified as "trait positive." Once the girls have been selected for the Ceremony, they must go on a [[Bree's diet|special diet]] and receive [[Bree's injections|injections]]. To our knowledge, the Ceremony ultimately represents an [[Lonelygirl15 Season Finale 10 of 12 – 5 pm|early end]] to [[Enter The Order|these girls' lives]].

Many people, such as [[Watcher]]s and [[Spreading the Song|various other members]] of the [[Hymn of One]], believe that it is their duty to protect these girls from the time they are born until the time they complete the Ceremony, and as such, the girls are very closely monitored for most of their lives.

In the video [[Evil Drug Company Exposed!]], [[Dr. Hart]] revealed that while he was studying traits in individuals, he discovered that the trait-positive girls weren't born with that trait naturally. [[Verdas Pharmaceuticals]] created the trait positive girls by altering them in the womb for test subject purposes. None of the dozens of test subjects Dr. Hart was provided survived past the age of five, except for [[Gina]].
{{Clr}}

==Becoming Trait Negative==
[[Image:0239-SpencerWithTestTube.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Spencer showing off the serum.]]
Any girl with a normal or low level of ribozymes is considered '''trait negative''', and therefore, undesirable to the Order in terms of [[the Ceremony (ritual)|the Ceremony]]. In an attempt to make Bree trait negative, TAAG, after deciphering [[Isaac Gilman]]'s letter, embarked on a [[Mission Possible|mission]] to retrieve a trait positive blood sample and create a serum using that blood. The exact makings of the serum are not clear; the only clue we have is [[The Serum|"zinc oxide"]]. From what Emma says in [[Decision Time]] and [[I Like Being Me]], we know that this serum can be taken in more than one shot. In contrast, [[Charlie]] confirms in [[Creepy]] that after injecting [[Kate]] only once with the serum, Kate had become trait negative.
Additionally, it has since been discovered that, if the serum makes its way into an elder's blood stream, they will die, as in the case of Bill Porter.

'''Virgil:''' Jonas, it's Virgil, the Watcher.

'''Jonas:''' Virgil, the Wa--whoa, whoa, whoa. Hello?

'''Virgil:''' You're the one who should be watching out. Santa has a present for you. Check your stocking on Christmas day.

'''Jonas:''' Virgil....

'''All:''' Whoa.

(''Cut to Jonas sitting in the dark with a light on his face.'')

'''Jonas:''' That was Virgil. You remember Virgil, right? The Watcher.

(''Cut to footage from [[My Fatal Mistake]].'')

'''Jonas:''' --will you just talk to me?

(''Jonas makes a grab for Virgil's shoulder, which is promptly deflected by twisting Jonas's arm by the wrist.'')

'''Jonas:''' Ahhh! Ahh! Okay, okay.

'''Virgil:''' Jonas, you're weak.

'''Jonas:''' (''voiceover'') The one who told me that LaRezisto was a fake.

(''Cut back to Jonas.'')

'''Jonas:''' The one who shot Claire. Well for those of you who weren't there, the other day I had a conference call, and I invited some people that I trusted: Mowse, Hopefulsemblance, caalan21, there were some others. And somehow, Virgil cracked into that call, and he laid some crazy warning on me. Now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have trusted them, because Broken Kid told me that one of them (''sighs'') might have given Virgil the call-code. And, uh, well, I'm sorry for all the secrecy, but we're hiding out right now. We're waiting for some things to come together. But I wanted to warn everybody: we might have a spy in our midst. So, uh, be careful, all of you. All right, that's all. I'll talk to you soon.

*Jonas is wearing a cap in this video.
*This video features the tail-end of the [[Jonas Conference Call]] that took place the previous week.
*It is heavily insisted that BrokenKid is the spy by iamcool and milowent

(''Emma is sitting in front of a blank white wall.'')

'''Emma:''' Hey, guys. Emma here reporting from another undisclosed location. What else is new, right? Right. By the way, Daniel, I hope if you find Sarah that you don't throw out your back, dragging her to your cave by her hair. Sorry, Daniel, that came out really mean. I don't even know why I said that. It's just living on the run yet again really tends to take its toll on a girl's nerves, you know? I mean, I know there's a good reason, and there's always a good reason. But Jonas said I'm not allowed to blog. But while the cat's away--or is the mouse? Anyway, I figure, really, what could hurt? Right? I mean, there are no clues here. Nothing but a plain, white wall. There are no clouds, or rivers, or lakes, or shopping malls, or anything normal that I could be spending my time--nothing but a plain, white wall. On top of all that, my parents put up an online APB for me, by the way. Take a look.

(''Cut to Emma's parents crying in front of their house.'')

'''Emma's dad:''' If anybody has seen this girl (''holds up a picture of Emma for the camera''), she's our little girl. Okay, her name is Emma. And her mother and father miss her very much. And we're very worried about her. So Emma, if you're out there and you can see this, okay, baby, come home. Okay, we miss you.

(''Cut back to Emma.'')

'''Emma:''' It's funny how I had to use a fake name to go to school, but they could post my real name on the Internet.

(''Cut back to Emma's parents.'')

'''Emma's mom:''' And we really, really love you. Please come home. Please.

(''Cut back to Emma.'')

'''Emma:''' You love me so much that you were giving me injections that would have killed me. Thanks, but, um, I think I'd rather stay underground. Dr. Hart says that I need to stay positive. He's the one bright spot that I have right now. Yesterday, he brought me these pastry thingies called fatman or something, I don't know. He said that it means "poor man's cookies", and they come from some Scandinavian bakery. He promised he was gonna bring me some more today. I don't even know where he and Jonas are or what they're doing because nobody tells me anything. For my own good, of course. I just wish, for once, that somebody will let me decide for myself what is good for me. Because it's sure not sitting in front of a white wall all day. They just tell me that it'll all be over soon. Whatever it is, this big plan, apparently it's going to go down tomorrow. And Dr. Hart says that after that I will be able to live my life like a normal person. We all will. I can't wait (''smiles'').

==Notes==

*The cookies Emma is referring to are "fattigmann" cookies from Norway.
*According to Emma's last statement, some specific event is taking place the day after the video is filmed. This is supposed to be something big enough to allow Emma to henceforth live a normal life. One can deduce this means a major blow is about to be struck on the Lullaby Project and Verdus.

(''Jonas with marker in hand, Emma behind him. Cheesy game show music plays'')

'''Jonas:''' (''to Emma, as she laughs'') Yeah, that's right. (''turns to face camera'') Oh! Hey! Welcome back to America's favorite show: "Asking Emma Questions". Emma!

'''Emma:''' Yes?

'''Jonas:''' Are you ready?

'''Emma:''' Yes.

'''Jonas:''' Let's do this. (''turns to Emma, cheesy music fades out'') You're first question: "'Taxation without Representation' was a grievance of which of the following groups?" (''Daniel comes to sit next to Emma'') We have A: American colonists of the mid to late 1700's. B: Southern states during the Civil War. C: Native-Americans during the Spanish-American war. Or D: Female citizens before the 19th Amendment. 19th Amendment.

'''Emma:''' (''inhales sharply, biting her thumb'') Ah, southern? No! No. Um...

'''Jonas:''' Emma, I'm going to need your answer.

'''Emma:''' A! American colonists.

(''Daniel inhales sharply, Jonas turns to camera'')

'''Jonas:''' Is that your final answer?

'''Emma:''' Yes, that's my final answer.

(''Daniel taps the bottom of the couch in mock drum roll'')

'''Jonas:''' She's right.

(''Emma and Daniel cheer.'')

'''Emma:''' I rock!

'''Jonas:''' Good job. Emma, this next prize--This next prize can change your life. (''Emma inhales'') One week, (''turns to camera'') no dish washer duty. That's no joke.

'''Emma:''' (''turns to Daniel'') Yes!

'''Daniel:''' I hope that's a joke.

'''Emma:''' (''clapping and laughing'') No! No!

'''Jonas:''' I hope you brought your game.

'''Emma:''' Okay.

'''Jonas:''' What's the mass of a proton?

'''Emma:''' Can I call a friend?

'''Jonas:''' Um...

'''Emma:''' For like help?

'''Jonas:''' Yeah. Yeah. (''comes closer to Emma'') Okay, but just don't call Dr. Hart, because that would be cheating.

'''Emma:''' I call...Daniel!

'''Daniel:''' What?

'''Emma:''' You're my friend.

'''Jonas:''' Alright! She's phoned a friend and it's--I'm sorry, sir. What's your name?

'''Daniel:''' Um, Daniel. That's with a "D".

'''Jonas:''' She's called her friend Daniel. Let's see what they can work out. I hope he's smarter than he looks.

(''Emma and Daniel whisper'')

'''Jonas:''' Boop-boop-boop. Okay, I'm sorry. That's-that's the buzzer, apparently. I'm going to need your answer.

'''Emma:''' The mass of a proton is one-sixteenth of a pound. Yeah. (''Daniel and Emma high-five'') I got this.

'''Jonas:''' Is that your final answer, Emma.

'''Emma:''' Yes, that's my final answer.

'''Jonas:''' One-sixteenth of a pound?

'''Emma:''' Yes. No dish washing?

'''Jonas:''' You are wrong. Incorrect answer.

'''Emma:''' What?

'''Jonas:''' I'm sorry, terribly sorry.

'''Daniel:''' I guess you are washing dishes.

'''Emma:''' No!

'''Jonas:''' The actual answer's slightly more than one atomic mass unit. Slightly more than one atomic mass unit.

'''Emma:''' Wait a second. That's not even a real answer. "Slightly more?" That's--I gave --

'''Jonas:''' (''cheesy game show music resumes'') Well! That's all for this week!

'''Emma:''' Wait, I gave one-sixteenth of a pound. "Slightly more" is vague.

'''Jonas:''' Right. Well, that's for another issue.

'''Emma:''' Wait! No!

'''Jonas:''' Well, thanks for watching your favorite show: "Ask Emma Questions". We'll see you next time.

(''Video ends with a still of Jonas winking at the camera'')

==Notes==
*Pounds are a unit of weight, not mass.
*1/16th of a pound is 1 ounce.
*The mass of a proton is actually 1.67x10^-27 kilograms - significantly less than 1/16th of a pound.

'''Jonas:''' Listen, I need--

'''Sarah:''' Jonas!!

'''Jonas:''' I need to get to town so we can find an Internet connection (''indistinct'')...

'''Sarah''': Please slow down!

'''Jonas:''' Hurry up!!

'''Sarah''': Yeah, I'm fine.

(''Cuts to Sarah'')

'''Sarah''': So, I got a flat tire... I guess thats what happens when you try and keep up with Speed Racer over here.

(''Cuts to Jonas looking over Sarah's bike'')

'''Jonas''': Great. I can't patch this.

'''Sarah''': (''off-camera'') I don't understand why is this so urgent?

'''Jonas''': Because, we need to go back, and I need to check the [[Verdus Pharmaceuticals|Verdus]] [http://www.verduspharma.com website]. How many times do I have to tell you that? Look, remember? (''holds up camera phone to show a picture of an middle-aged man'')

'''Sarah''': (''sarcastic'') Oh, right, I completely forgot. Um... (''pans the camera to her face'') Jonas snuck his camera phone into the tour that [[Carl]] gave us, even though he specifically asked us not to. (''pans back to Jonas'')

'''Jonas ''': Oh, s-- so what, now, now we're listening to what Carl says?

'''Sarah''': He thinks he saw some random guy...

'''Jonas''': I don't think I saw some random guy, okay? This is the guy. This is the guy, I know it. All right? This is the same guy in the press release from the Verdus website. He was hosting a Life Extension panel, so let me ask you this, Sarah: why would some guy who's an expert on Life Extension be in a pre-natal care center? Why would that be?

'''Sarah:''' Uh, because he was volunteering? And you don't even know if that him. Look, I have an idea. Let's just go back into town, and we'll catch a bus, we'll be home in our own beds in two days.

'''Jonas:''' (''picks up his bike'') We're not going home. We're not going home until we figure out why these people are here. Okay?

'''Sarah:''' Okay, you know what, I have a better idea. Why don't we go ''home'', and you can search out your conspiracy theories from the privacy of your own Wi-Fi?

'''Jonas:''' You know what... what the hell happened to you, Sarah?

'''Sarah:''' What happened to ''you''?? Okay, you're so desperate for something to be wrong here that you're seeing things that aren't even there!

'''Jonas:''' Oh, ho, ho. Desperate? ''I'm'' desperate? Okay, I'm not the one who's so desperate for meaning in my life that I'm getting brainwashed by some organization that I don't even know anything about.

'''Sarah:''' Oh, is that what you think?

'''Jonas:''' Yeah, that's what I think. (''picks up bike again, grabs camera'') Gimme this.

'''Sarah:''' What do you think you're doing??

(''Camera pans to Sarah as Jonas rides away'')

'''Jonas:''' I'm leaving, I gotta go to town, I gotta find an Internet connection.

'''Sarah:''' Wait a minute, you're just gonna leave me here all by myself?!

'''Jonas:''' Yeah, well, you know what? Maybe your friends at [[Lullaby Project]]'ll swing on it and pick ya up!

'''Sarah:''' Jonas, you can't leave me out here in the desert, I don't know where I am!!

'''Jonas:''' You'll be fine!

(''Sarah screams. The screen goes black. Cuts to Jonas, walking his bike through the desert.'')

'''Jonas:''' She pissed me off, but... I can't just leave her out here all by herself. (''looking around'') Sarah! Hey, Sarah! (''cuts to camera, panning the horizon'') I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you. It's not funny! You win! (''we see her discarded bike, but no sign of her'') Sarah? Sarah!! (''camera pans back to Jonas's worried face'')

==Notes==
* This is the first video of Season Two to have a title composed of entirely capital letters, and the first all caps titled video since [[FOLLOW YOUR HAPPINESS]] (Jun. 21, 2007).
* Although Sarah herself has disappeared, we still see her disabled bike lying in the sand in one of the final shots.

(''Sarah, Daniel, and Jonas jump down out of an opening in the ceiling. Daniel takes a gun and aims it down another staircase. Jonas takes another gun and holds it ready.'')

'''Jonas:''' (''to Sarah'') You okay?

'''Sarah:''' Yeah. (''they enter another room'') Sorry.

'''Jonas:''' (''trying door'') It's locked. (''footsteps are heard'') I think someone's coming.

'''Sarah:''' Oh, [[Four-letter words|shit]].

'''Jonas:''' Go, go, go, go. Quick, go!

'''Sarah:''' Fuck.

(''They all go into a closet and leave the door slightly open. Claire and [[LaRezisto]], the rogue [[Elder]], come into the room.'')

'''Claire:''' No, no... can we do it another night? I just don't feel that she's ready yet.

'''Elder:''' Her ribosomes are up at trait positive levels. Of course, she's ''ready''.

'''Claire:''' What I meant was I don't think she's ready psychologically - spiritually. I just need some more time for the preparation.

'''Elder:''' Claire, we don't have to pretend anymore that we're here for some spiritual purpose. No one from the [[Hymn of One]] is listening.

'''Claire:''' I'm from the Hymn of One! I just don't want to do it if it's not perfect!

'''Elder:''' Look, I am dying here.

'''Claire:''' (Sadly) I know

'''Elder:''' I know on the outside I ''look'' like I am all right, but my organs are aging. My liver, my kidneys are nearly 90 years old. I don't have much time left. Well, let's go down there and check the equipment, make sure it's ready for the transfusion. And then you go get her. (mockingly) And you say a little prayer and then off with her. (''The Elder walks Off. Claire sighs and gets up and leaves the room'')

'''Sarah''' (Whispers) Are you sure they're gone?

'''Jonas:''' Sh! (''[[TAAG]] leave closet. Jonas points gun toward where Claire and the Elder left through. He tries to open a door on the other side'') Emma?

(''They leave room, with Jonas in the lead holding a gun'')

'''Daniel:''' Be careful, man.

(''Emma is humming and Jonas sees her in a chair, with her arm hand cuffed to the chair. They hug.'')

'''Jonas:''' Hey! (''they whisper'') Listen, we don't have much time. I'm gonna have to shoot this off, all right? It's gonna be loud, but it's gonna be okay, okay? Just--just--clo--turn your head. Turn your head. One, two, three!

(''Jonas manages to blow off the hand cuffs and Claire hits Jonas in the head, causing him fall back'')

'''Emma:''' No!

'''Elder:''' Put your gun down!

'''Sarah:''' Daniel, put it down.

'''Claire:''' Put it down!

'''Daniel:''' Fine.

(''places gun on a small table'')

'''Elder:''' The most important thing is restoring the Order. And without us, yes, it'd all be lost. (''pans to Claire pointing the gun at TAAG.'') My colleagues, they're--they're not like me. They--they don't have the stomach for this kind of work. I do. Now, Claire. Get rid of 'em. Let's get on with this.

'''Daniel:''' Wait! Who the fuck are you?

'''Emma:''' (''with gun held to her head by Claire'') No, Claire. Please, don't you do this!

'''Elder:''' Claire, show these ingrates who I am.

'''Emma:''' Don't, don't. Please.

(''Claire swings the gun frantically at TAAG'')

'''Jonas:''' Claire! Claire, Claire. Please don't you do this! You don't have to do this!

(''Claire spins to her left and shoots the Elder. She drags Emma towards her, now putting the gun to Emma's head.'')

'''Jonas:''' Shit!

'''Emma:''' What are you doing?

'''Claire:''' (''sobbing'') Sorry! I'm sorry!

'''Jonas:''' We forgive you! We'll forgive you! It's okay!

'''Daniel:''' Claire, don't let her. Please don't let her.

(''A shot is heard and Claire goes down. Virgil walks into the room, holding a gun with both hands.'')

'''Jonas:''' Emma, come here!

'''Virgil:''' Get out of here.

(''camera shows Claire, with a gun wound to her head and the Elder a with a gun wound on his chest.'')

'''Virgil:''' I said get out of here!

'''Daniel:''' Sarah, come on. Let's go. Jonas, get out of here. Come on, go. Go!

(''Jonas, holding Emma's hand, leads TAAG out. Scene returns to Emma in a white room, her dad at her side. Emma sniffles'')

'''Father:''' And then?

'''Emma:''' And then Jonas brought me back to you. I'm really sorry for this, dad.

'''Father:''' No, no! This isn't your fault, honey. Kay? (''kisses her on the cheek'') None of this is your fault.

(''Emma's mother goes to her side'')

'''Mother:''' You're safe now, Emma. You're with us. You're safe. We won't let anyone hurt you. I promise.

'''Emma:''' Yeah, but what about Jonas?

'''Father:''' No. Jonas is not gonna bother you ever again.

'''Mother:''' We won't let that happen.

'''Father:''' We love you so much.

'''Emma:''' I love you, too.

'''Mother:''' I'm so glad you're home.

'''Emma:''' Me, too.

==Notes==
*Many fans suspect that Emma's Dad is an Elder from the Order.
*It is unclear at this point why Emma has TAAG's footage.
*Emma's father is very clearly not wearing a wedding ring in this video.

==Transcript==
'''Claire:''' The following should be considered as evidence of my good intentions. And as a warning to anyone who might be foolish enough to consider coming after our very special girl.

(''Cut to Emma'')

'''Emma:''' Well, I want everybody to know that I'm okay. Uh... I mean, everybody's been really nice to me here. Um, Claire, she's been really nice to me. I've been spending a lot of time on- (''scene cut'') I don't want you guys to worry about me. So... And we talk; I talk to Claire. And we talk about, like, the Hymn of One; stuff like that. I actually haven't had somebody to talk to about that stuff in a long time. We talk about my family - my first family.

'''Emma:''' (''To Claire, off-camera'') I'm sorry, can we talk about my family?

'''Claire:''' Sure, go ahead, Emma.

'''Emma:''' Okay, so I had a family before Jonas's parents, my first family, about six years ago. And my parents - my new parents - have been great with me over the last six years. I don't want everybody to think that I don't love them or that I don't love being with them, because I do. I love them very much. I was nine, and I had, like, a singing recital at the Hymn of One campus. And my mom dropped me off at, like, a-a dress rehearsal thing. She went home to get dressed and to pick up my dad. (''Emma starts crying.'') They never made it. They were killed in a car accident on the way back on the 405. I was looking for them in the audience; they weren't there. And then I got off to another family! (''scene cut'') I want everybody to know that I wasn't crying because of anything that's happened here - I'm okay.

==Notes==
*This video confirms that Emma is 15 years old.
*The smile at the end of the video seems rather fake, which could indicate that Emma is in fact ''not'' okay. In fact she smiles once, shakes her head in a very small "no" gesture, and then smiles once more.
*Some people have theorized that Emma's gestures are not random or unintentional, but that she is attempting to send a message coded in sign language. There appears to be at least (6) distinct signs or phrases at:

'''2:12''' (Right Hand to Ear)
'''2:10''' (Thumb to breastbone-rotating)
'''2:00''' (Right Index finger point up, Left hand up and back to knee, and Right Index finger back to knee)
'''1:50''' (Crossed hands palms down-rubbing)
'''1:31''' (Right hand to back of neck & then out to camera palm up)
'''0:16''' (Right Hand opened up moving diagonal from right shoulder to lap).

* So far, these have not been confirmed or translated.
* Some fans have wondered if Emma has known/remembered her "first family" prior to her encounter and time with Claire or if she has undergone any sort of regression therapy to "recover" her memories.
* Emma looks up distinctly at at least one point in the video (just after touching her ear at 2:12) and at 2:00, she seems to point upwards. Some fans have theorized that the message she is trying to convey has something to do with the upward direction, or something that is directly above her.
*The amount of light changes between the short clip of Claire at the beginning and the clip of Emma, indicating that either the lighting was different or the first clip was recorded earlier in the day (i.e. when it was brighter out)
*Some fans speculate that the killing of Emma's 'first family' was not a mere accident.
*It is still possible that Emma was adopted into the Hymn of One at birth.
